The former are characterized by greater rigidity and a quicker system, but, naturally, are less convenient in the context of transportation.

Spinning Shimano Technium

Compared with the aforementioned series of rods Japanese company Shimano Technium can be called a relatively inexpensive ruler, which involves a wide selection of spinnings with different lengths and dough.

Shimano Catana CX

An extensive range of inexpensive spinnings for fishermen with an average budget. Rods have a progressive structure of access rings, are made of special geofiber, which gives them greater rigidity and strength, but without special losses in elasticity.

Shimano Yasei

Each of them has a fast system and very good “throw” characteristics, which will allow the owner of such a spinning to carry out fast, long and fairly accurate casting of any jig baits. The use of braids will increase the sensitivity level of the rigging of Shimano Yasei rods

Shimano FORCE MASTER

Budget rod from Shimano, whose strengths are high strength and versatility, but the sensitivity is already taking a back seat. They have very strong forms. The structure is average, the sensitivity is weak. In total this line has about 25 rods.
